Good Morning Ppruners,
The Early editions give a lurid tale about an experienced pilot giving out a " Mayday" call, and not realising it, whilst flying solo in the South of England, that call being picked up by the D&D people(121.50).Can this really be so, could an experienced pilot drop such a huge bollock, or could this guy be one of the sort that are frightened by RT and there use, is the allseeing eye of the D&D able to pick up Maydays calls that are off their frequency, or did PO Prune really tune into 121.5 for his practice?
